The Gipper Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Rich got the current NY Yankees, Phillies, Bears, and Jets. I think he got mixed up on what the question was. The question was "what are these teams names NOW"....not what city were they from when they carried that name. You would have done poorly on your ACT test by not reading the question properly! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Left to be identified: (I suggest giving current name and city): Bronchos: Gothams: Orphans: Perfectos: Royals: Rustlers: Scouts: Spartans: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I was referring to San Francicso Giants, Sacramento Kings and New York Jets. Zombo I suspected you were, but had to be certain. That eliminates the Gothams and Royals from the "to be answered list" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 One thing this trivia does point up is how creatively challenged a lot of these pro teams are in terms naming their teams. Of the 25 former names I have listed....Seven of them are now names of different teams, e.g. Browns, Titans, Oilers, Nationals, Texans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
